" YADEN DENES AN " T0 CURB COUNCL Has Upheld Body, Says Pres- ident of Federation of Citi- zens’ Associations. James G. Yaden, president of the Federation of Citizens' Associations and chairman of the Citizens’ Ad- visory Council, issued a formal state- ment yesterday outlining his position on the relative activities of the two organizations and denying reports that he is undertaking to restrict the scope of the council. “T have neither done nor said any- thing that can justifiably be construed to mean that I favor any change in the meéthod of selecting the Citizens’ Advirory Council or that will curtail the splendid work the council has done for the people of the District of Columbia and which it will continue to do,” the statement read. “The facts are that instead of at- tempting to restrict the scope and character of the activities of the coun- cil I have sought, and I believe suc- cessfully, to extend its sphere of use- fulness. Functions Are Defined. “The functions of the federation and those of the council are so dissimilar that there is no room for conflict be- tween the two bodies, in my judgment, particularly in the minds of those ‘who are desirous of promoting the welfare of the people of the District. “The duties of the council as pro- wvided in section 3 of the organic act creating it are: ““The council shall act as an ad- visory body to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia upon matters affecting said District) but it shall not in any way restrict the activities or abridge the rights of the federations hereinafter mentioned or of their re- spective member bodies.’ Scope of Federation. “The object and jurisdiction of the federation as set forth in article IT of its constitution is: ““To obtain the expression of the general public sentiment upon mat- ters of special interest to all the citizens of the District, and to secure and make effective their united action. *““The jurisdiction of the federation extends only to matters of special interest to the entire District, and which require concerted action.” “It will be seen, therefore, that the functions of the council are to give advice to the Commissioners and its sphere of usefulness has been extend- ed to the giving of advice to the Senate and House committees on the District of Columbia; while the federa- tion, through its constituent bodies, originates action and after approval passes it on to the District Commis- sioners, the committees of Congress, the Board of Education and the Bu- reau of the Budget, and by its efforts endeavors to bring about approval of its findings, while the council usually contents itself by considering matters referred to it and giving advice on them.” A Pas s oas Rl Londoners have just learned from America about the popularity of the stepney step, the new dance that is almost a cross between the Charles- ton and the tango, and that it origi- nated in the East End of London, came to this country and then trav- eled back home. — This is the selfsame effi- cient Willard “B” Power THE ALUMNI REPORTS SHOW HIGH SCHOOL IS GOOD INVESTMENT 1913 Graduates at Business Prove That Public Expense for Education Is Justified Is a high school education a good investment in future citizenship? If the record of the class of 1913 of Business High School is a fair indi- cation of the average high school graduate here, then the taxpayer who has been asking himself this question need lose no sleep over the problem any longer. On December 26 the surviving mem- bers of this class will hold their an- nual reunion at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John McCormick, 1433 Iris street. J. Paul Van Overmeer has preparéd some interesting statistics regarding the individual achievernents of the members of the class for the occasion. In the first place, the class has never missed having its reunion. All of the members of the class first began and Repaid thelt public school careers in 1801 and were brought together in the Business High School in 1909. Cir- cumstance was kind to them and the class went through tha entire four- year course intact. In June, 1913, it was graduated with a roster of 43 students, 22 of whom were men and 21 young women. During the 13 years since, only four members have been summoned by death. Henry C. Spengler, a lieuten- ant of Infantry, died in the Argonne; William G. Moore, A Cavalry lieuten- ant, also ded in the service; William C. Mills died as a yeoman in the Navy during the war, and Mrs. Ger- trude L. Martindale was a victim of the Knickerbocker disaster. Thirty-one members of the class have married, six men and six women have remained single.

C. the marriages, the class now has 32 “‘grandchildren.” During the World War, 13 of the 22 men enlisted, 8 of whom won commissions. The three who made the supreme sacrifice all are burfed in Arlington National Cemetery. The average income of surviving male members of the class is esti- mated at $3,980 n year; that for women in business is placed at $2,080. ‘Two-thirds of the class have become property owners, the total value of the property being placed at $160,000. As to vocations, 10 members of the class are Government employes, 11 are housewives, three are commercial accountants, three secretaries, four are in business for themselves and two are instructors. The other six are: a chemist, a soclal reform work- er, a baker, a dentist, an Army officer and a farm expert. Out of the 43 original members of the class, however, only 22 still make ‘Washington their residence, although another seven live in nearby Mary- land and Virginia suburbs. The other 10 have moved farther away. Al- though this is a loss of 26 per cent of future citizens to the taxpayers who sent them through school, Mr. Van Overmeer pointed out that the situ- ation is equalized more or less by other students coming here from other citles. DECEMBER 12, 1926—PART 1. SENATE WILL AGT ON MATERNITY AID Continuance of Co-operation Program Will Come Up Tomorrow. The maternity bill, under which the present system of Federal co-opera- tion with the ‘States in a campaign of education would be continued for two more years, was made the un- finished business of the Senate just before adjournment 4esterday. After the Senate had passed the biil to authorize construction of a bridge across the Columbia River be- tween Oregon and Washington, which had been the subject of a ccntroversy for two days, Senator Sheppard, Democrat, of Texas, moved to take up the maternity measure. There was objection, but Senator Shepnard asked for a record vote and on the roll call A Stock-Reducing Sale of $3 to $5 Shoes All taken from regular stocks and reduced for quick clearance $l .95”.

Senator Shep- pard announced that he would not insist on pressing the matter for the remainder of the day, and the Senate adjourned. The vote to take it up will bring it before the Senate again tomorrow. The existing maternity law pro- vided for an annual appropriation for five years, ending next June, to assist the States in carrying on educational work along the special lines indicated by the terms of the act. Each State that takes advantage of the Federal co-operation provided for works out its own plans for carrying on the movement, within certain prescribed limits. Supporters of the bill declare it has accomplished much good. The Senate also has pending in an unfinished state the treaty to ban the use of polson gases in future wars. While it was before the Senate for a few hours in open executive session last week it developed considerable opposition from Senators who argued that gas was a more humane method of defense than other weapons. This question also may come before the Senate again this week. T e Miss Virginia Drummond, the only woman to go to sea as an engineer, recently was granted a second engi- neer’s certificate.

Merchant Writes to Senator Capper in Favor of Site. Salvatore Scalco, fruit merchant, has written to Senator Capper of Kansas, chairman of the Senate Dis- trict committee, recommending the ‘water front site for a farmer's market. Pointing out that the Government already owns a strip of land approxi- mating six acres now serving no use- ful purpose along the water front, he suggests its use for a farmer’s market would save the cost of about $600,000 for & new site. On the opposite side of the street, he says, is an “ldeal location for a wholesale terminal for the handling of perishable freight, such as fruits, vegetables, poultry, €ggs, meats, etc., being the terminus for five trunk lines and convenient to two modern and up-to-date established cold storage plants.” e— Nearly three-fourths of the mills in England that are spinning Amer- ican cotton are being interested in the new American Yarn Associated, Ltd., being organized for the regu- lation of the sale of yarn spun in that country from cotton grown in this country. $7 to $10 Rayon Bedspread Sets $ 5.95 With Separate Bolster Beautiful jacquard stripes and krinkled effects in lovely color combinations—rose, blue, tionally smart and adds so much charm to a room.
